COOPER SAKS THAT TRISJLl RUN EXECUTIVE REALIZES IN ITS 1 FULLNESS MEANING OF A CESSATION OF TRAFFIC. iff CULL SPECIAL SESSION The Legislature Will be Expected to Pass Expedient Measures to Fit The Emergency. ? Columbia. Trains will be operated in South Carolina, strike or no strike, provided volunteers can be procured to man them, according to Gov. R. A. Cooper, who said that if it were considered hecessary, a special session of the legislature would be called in order to draw up measures deemed expedient to meet the emergency. It was as no foe of organized labor nor of collective barganining that the chief executive of the state said he ? spoke, but as an official who realises, in its fullness, the meaning of cessation of railway traffic in this state at the present time. The decline in the price of farm products raised in this state; the increase in the price of products raised in distant states and countries; the sufferiiu and the misery that would follow the wake of a complete tieup of railway traffic were visualized by the governor. "The cotton farmer has suffered very materially bv reason of the decline in prices of cotton as well as by the unprecedented low production, and no one ought to expect a government, state or national, to fail to take any measurers which would prevent a further loss to those engaged in agriculture, since agriculture Is the source of all our wealth. / To Reallot Bridge Projects. Reallotment of approximately $150,000 to bridge projects now under way or sooil to be in progress in different counties in the state and approval of flovnrol n/iiiootn nf foHorfll a iH n Inn fr cj with the adoption of several new roads into the state system were the more important actions by the state highway commission at its monthly meeting here. The $150,000 reallotment for bridge work was made possible by the withdrawal of the Pee Dee bridge commission from state highway and federal participation in the proposed Pee Dee structure. The state commission, had allotted $150,030 to this project. Per Cent of Infant Mortality.

Kirby's Life Prolonged. The possibility of the electrocution of S. J. Kirby, convicted murderer, who refused to abandon the appeal to the supreme court made by his attorney, faded practically out of existence. The attorney general's office advised the governor, unofficially, that there was nothing left to do but to wait for Kirby to complete his appeal, as he says he will do. Tax Extension Granted. An extension of time for the opening of the tax books in Horry county was granted by Comptroller General Duncan. Horry is the fourth county to ask for an extension. Richland.

Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, asked Governor Cooper how much road work could be begun in this state within the next 90 days provided federal aid was ready withnthe next ten days and the governor answered that at least $2,000,000 worth of work could be started within the 90 days. The question from Mr. Hoover came in a telegram. Secretary Hoover indicated that President Harding thought construction of new roads would be one remedy for the unemployment situation.

To Increase Number of Synods* Plans looking to the increase of the number of synods sustaining the Cov lumbia Theological Seminary were outlined before the Tennessee synod at its recent meeting held at Franklin by Dr. John M. Wells, president of the institution. A proposition similar to that made to the Tennessee synod Is before the synods of Mississippi and Louisiana, and if the invitation extended by Dr. Wells to those synods be accepted, it means that the number of students enrolled will be increased by about 50 per cent. I Students at State Fifty Clemsoo students, working In two shifts of 25 each, will give an ex- ' 1 hlbition at the state fair in Columbia, October 24 to 29, demonstrating the work that is being done there by the youth of South Carolina. The military department will demonstrate the building of trenches, for tlfications, bridges and other applicances of war. Students from the chemistry department will make an analysis of fertilizers as well as of chemicals used in laboratories. One of the most interesting phases of the exhibit is expected to be that of the entomology students. They will make a study of different insects, particularly of the boll weevil, which is now so common in virtually all parts of the state. The botany students will make an actual study of all kinds of plants and growing things. The soil exhibits are expected to be of considerable interest to farmers as ananlysis will be made of the various kinds of soil found in the state. Dealing -jvith the rotation of crops, the crop exhibit is sure to attract more than ordinary interest as such a large part of the farming population is today interested in the subject of crop rotation. Prisoners Reported Beaten. Following a report made by the state board of public welfare that prisoners on the Sumter county chaingang were being unmercifully beaten and abused by guards and foremen of two camps, Governor Cooper adjessed a letter to Solicitor Frank A.

The arrival of October 16 greatly simplified the enforcement of the game laws in South Carolina relative , to dove shooting. At the last legis! lature an act was passed making the j state law for doves open August 15, whereas the federal law did not allow the shooting of doves until October 16. This caused a great deal of con- < fusion and in many instances got hunt| ers into trouble with the federal au- i | thorities. The dove law is now open I for all hunters to go in the fields and j shoot doves in accordance with law. i - . ? Woods Advises Law Students. Speaking before the law school of the University of South Carolina in the first of a series of two lectures, i Judge C. A.

COUNTING ON PROCLAMATION Next Payment on Reparations Will be Met, but Doubt Exists as to That Falling Due in March. Washington. ? Germany's cabinet changes are purely political and not economic. Unless the new Chancellor adopts an attitude of hostility toward fulfillment of German obligations to the Allies, the new ministry will be of no particular importance externally. This is the view taken in Washington where the approaching proclamation of peace between Germany and the United States is counted upon to help any new ministry shows the same good faith as did Chancellor Wirth in attempting to meet reparation payments. The cabinet change in Germany comes at a critical moment. The next payment due the Allies from Germany is November 15. Official reports have Indicated for some time that Germany would pay the installment due next month though there has been some doubt about her ability to meet the next one in March. The feeling here, however, has been that if the German cabinet were properly supported it would be able to consolidate the various elements in the situation so as to get by the March payment too. Cancer More Deadly Than War. Raleigh, N.
